org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'numberGeneratorImpl' defined in file [E:\JAVA\BankEE\out\artifacts\BankEE_war_exploded\WEB-INF\classes\model\bl\NumberGeneratorImpl.class]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: 'sessionFactory' or 'hibernateTemplate' is required

now i gonna show you my app classes and interface:

this is INumberGenerator Interface:

public interface INumberGenerator {

public String returnNumber();
}

this is NumberGeneratorImpl(in this class because of @Repository give me ERROR):

@Repository
public class NumberGeneratorImpl extends HibernateDaoSupport implements INumberGenerator {

@Override
@Transactional
public String returnNumber() {
    List<String> list = getHibernateTemplate().find("select n.number from NumberGenerator n ");
    Integer newNumber = Integer.parseInt(list.get(0))+1;
    getHibernateTemplate().bulkUpdate("update NumberGenerator n set n.number=?",newNumber.toString());
    return list.get(0);
}

}

and this is my controller(Spring-mvc):

@Controller
public class MainController {
    @Autowired
    INumberGenerator numberGenerator;

 @RequestMapping(//something)
 public String test(//request and response)
  {
     numberGenerator.returnNumber();


 }

at the end this is my mvc-dispatcher-servlet.xml

can anybody tell me what is the problem that @Repository makes??? the error will gone when i delete @Repository

Answer 1

You have a component-scan that retrieve all @Repository, indeed the problem is for the bean "numberGeneratorImpl" that you haven't in your spring context. You must exclude it form component scan else you have 2 bean of NumberGeneratorImpl.class

• numberGeneratorImpl
• numberGenerator

You've two way..

First solution

add in your context

<bean id="hibernateTemplate" class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.HibernateTemplate">
      <property name="sessionFactory" ref="localSessionFactoryBean"/>
</bean>

remove below declaration

<bean id="numberGenerator" class="model.bl.NumberGeneratorImpl">
    <property name="sessionFactory" ref="localSessionFactoryBean"/>
</bean>

and modify

@Repository
@Qualifier("numberGenerator")
public class NumberGeneratorImpl extends HibernateDaoSupport implements INumberGenerator {

Second solution

Exclude the class from component-scan

<context:component-scan base-package="model.bl">
    <!--other filters-->
    <!--.......-->
    <context:exclude-filter expression="model\.bl\.NumberGeneratorImpl" type="regex" />
</context:component-scan>

I hope that it was helpful.

In adding .. the bean hibernateTemplate is not real necessary, when you use HibernateDaoSupport only one of sessionFactory or hibernateTemplate is required. You could also make an alias for your localSessionFactoryBean.

<alias name="localSessionFactoryBean" alias="sessionFactory" />

Answer 2

I think below line is missed in your mvc-dispatcher-servlet.xml file.

<bean id="hibernateTemplate" class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.HibernateTemplate">
<property name="sessionFactory" ref="localSessionFactoryBean"/>
</bean>
